Home grown soup.
Well, mostly.
- Take home grown veg from the garden - you’ll need an onion, some garlic, a carrot or 2 (depending on size) and a beetroot - I put in a couple of small celery sticks and about half a courgette too.
- Cook beetroot in water until soft enough to peel the skin off and dice. Keep the water.
- Dice the veg and fry until soft in some oil - I like olive but any will do.
- Add a spoon or so of plain flour and stir in to soak up the oil.
- Add in a tin of tomatoes (not home grown but it’s what we had, you could cook some home grown toms if you felt like it I suppose)
- Top up with water from the beetroot, and a bit more if needed (and a stock cube if you want) and any seasoning you feel might be needed, herbs etc.
- Simmer gently until all veg are soft.
- Blitz until smooth.
- Serve with bread.
